I have recently unexpecantly inherited a pair of Mission 761SE speakers with stands and a nice quantity of Ixos 603 cable.
I now need something to drive these whilst keeping to my budget of £50. I am looking at local paper/ auctions for old amps, but could do with a pointer. As an example I've seen a cheap Kenwood KA 3020, reknowned when released for it's quality as a budget amp. I've also been looking at NAD and Arcam from the same era (10-15 years old). As these seem to be the only things in my puny budget, has anyone got any reccomendations of which models to look out for for a cheap, good sounding amp. This would be replacing an old Aiwa all in one which is currently acting as amp and speakers.
My sources aren't audiophile in the slightest as I'm running my dj equipment (Gemini SA 2400 turntable, CD-240) and PC (Audigy 2) through my Gemini 626 mixer at the moment.
I have an extensive and varied selection of music to play both personally and professionally and I audition tracks and try to mess about with mini sets for gigs.
